Making An Origami Cube Is Easy To Do
Steps
1. Take a piece of paper. The bigger your paper, the larger the final cube
will be
2. In the center of your paper, draw a long rectangle and divide it up into
four 10 cm squares.
3. # Draw another square to the right of the second square from the top.
4. Draw another square to the left of the second square from the top.
o Now it should look like a cross with six equal sized squares and
the the longest part should be closest to you.
o Make the “ears,” or tabs, on the sides and top of the cubes—
these are useful if you wish to glue your box together.
5. With scissors or a hobby knife, cut along the outside edges of the
shape. If you printed the pattern and are gluing the box together, be
careful not to cut off the tabs!
6. Fold the paper. Follow along the inside lines, and fold the paper inward.
o If you’re gluing, make sure you fold the tabs inward as well.
7. Align the folds. The square on the very bottom should be folded so it is
parallel or directly across from the square that was in the middle.
8. Finish up your box. Tape all of the sides together, and you’re done!.
oIf you are gluing, apply a couple drops of hobby glue or paste to
the tabs, and then press the outside of the box against the glued
tabs.
9. Finished.
